An issue occurred when paying for tickets, my cards kept being declined so I purchased the tickets elsewhere. A few days later I noticed I had actually been charged for one of the transactions, so I emailed, got a response overnight, sent some proof of my other tickets and got a refund within a few hours - all on a weekend! And I thought good customer service was dead - well impressed.

I bought tickets to Christmas Dunham…
I bought tickets to Christmas Dunham Massey for 19th December (tomorrow). My newborn was admitted into alder hey and tried to change tickets via the app on evening of 17th December. The app wouldn't provide the alternative dates/times and the help desk line was closed so I waited for today to call. I called on 18th December at 10.30am to change the tickets to a different date but was told that the terms and conditions stated that we could only exchange tickets 24 hours before the event and respite me calling 30 hours before the event I am unable to swap them.
They will not provide me with a refund either, despite being able to provide medical letters stating my child is in hospital.
I wasn't even looking for a refund initially, I was wanting to exchange to a different date and the app didn't work, so called still before 24 hours period.
Absolutely awful customer service

Hi Tania,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and hope your newborn is doing well — we understand how upsetting and stressful this situation must have been.
As outlined previously, our exchange policy requires requests to be completed more than 24 hours before the event. Unfortunately, once the event falls within that window, we’re limited in what we’re able to action without venue approval. That said, we do appreciate that you experienced issues with the app and that support availability impacted your ability to complete the exchange in time.
If you’re able to reach out to us again, we’d be more than happy to review this once more and see whether there is any possibility of assisting with an exchange, subject to venue approval. While we can’t guarantee an outcome, we’ll certainly do everything we can to help where possible.
Thank you for raising this with us, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and distress this caused.

Utter rubbish
The website is useless, you wait for a verification code which when it eventually arrives says its invalid. 28 attempts !!! Before it worked. Appalling and of course no phone number to ask for help!!

Hello Richard,
Thank you for the review.
Your tickets will be available via the Ticketek UK app, unless otherwise specified by the venue. If a venue uses their own app instead, this will be clearly confirmed in your booking confirmation email with the exact app name and instructions.
Please check your confirmation email carefully, as it will tell you exactly where and when your tickets will appear. If anything is still unclear, our support team will be happy to point you in the right direction.

…Ticket purchase
The paying bit was easy but trying to find 2 tickets I wouldn't allow me to book 2 seats if there was 3 seats in a row as said can't leave 1 seat but when I looked around to find others there was lots of single seats so was a bit disappointed as when I went back on the seats I wanted had gone which left 1 seat,but I eventually found some seats so I'm happy

Hello Audrey,
Thank you for sharing your experience!
We understand how frustrating the seat selection rules can feel. The system is designed this way to reduce isolated seats and help more customers find suitable seating, but we appreciate that it can be disappointing in the moment.
We’re glad to hear you were able to find alternative seats in the end and that you’re happy with your booking.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope you have a great time at the event!

So helpful
So helpful!
I booked my tickets and then realised I’d booked the wrong date. Disaster!
I had little hope of being able to exchange or get a refund but I was wrong.
I contacted them via the form and they emailed me within the hour and were able to resolve my issue. I had to rebook for the correct date and then they were able yo issue a refund.
Such a relief.
Thank you so much.

Which app explicitly will my tickets be on
You say that my tickets will be available on ‘venue app’, but there are several ‘venue app’s available on my iPhone, so at the moment I don’t know where my tickets are
I am guessing that at some point you will tell me, but at the moment I just don’t know

Don't buy tickets from Ticketek
Ticketek sold me duplicate tickets for the Mcfly v Busted concert in Liverpool, thanks to the staff at the M&S arena we were able to get to see the concert. I complained to Ticketek and they weren't interested.
I only gave 1 star because I couldn't give zero.

Hi Dawn,
Thank you for the feedback.
We understand how upsetting it must have been to discover duplicate tickets, and we are glad the venue staff were able to help so you could still attend the concert.
We are sorry if you felt your concerns were not handled as well as they should have been when you contacted us, that is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
We like the opportunity to review this further. As we cannot discuss booking details publicly, please contact us directly with your booking reference so we can look into what happened and ensure your feedback is properly addressed.

It is really straightforward to use, only one part is challenging to find a ticket for the combined option (castle and light trail) that is in good timing and not hours apart) but I got there at the end.
